Title

Secret Access: Air Force One

Review

Ever wonder what top secret shenanigans happen on board Air Force One? This DVD probably won't get you into those files, but it probably will tell you way more than you already knew.

The biggest part of this documentary details how much work goes into planning a presidential trip. The President is making a trip to several countries in Africa, so the crew must plan every minute detail. Of course, you expected a flight plan and itinerary, but what about refueling? Where does the plane touch down, and how about those less-than-super-modern airports in some countries? Where does the plane stay overnight? And how does the President get from the airport to his meetings and various appearances? Remember the Popemobile (but we're not supposed to call it that anymore)? What happens if there is a midair attack? It's all covered and this DVD will show you how. Well. . .mostly. Some things have to stay Top Secret. ~ Jana Atkins
